The Space Review: More problems for big space telescopes

Interesting, no mention of shuttle capability used to fix Hubble & the fact Hubble could be maintained longer if anyone in bush/obama adm had the proper attitude toward our space preeminence! Bm

Capabilities critical to USA !

Unique Capabilities critical to USA !
Go figure, we had in shuttle UNIQUE capabilities, that were the envy of the world.
We could accomplish tasks in EO that had not been accomplished by any other country, & by operating shuttle, we improved the following:
1. Improved designs for various systems & mfg. & test capabilities
2. Created tens of thousands of excellent jobs
3. Supported iss & maintained an improved safety state than is presently being done re Kraft letter on placing Iss in danger w/ o shuttle
4. Provided the option by maintaining a STS to accomplish important EO tasks, & to explore universe by placing exploration modules in EO.
5. Improve Iss research by providing equipment & supplies that can not be done with Soyuz & cargo transportation system.
6. By maintaining a multiplicity of operations & a dynamic program, provided a Dream for our youth to strive for.
7. Developed approaches/techniques for military operations in EO which are critical to the capabilities of national security
But, after spending billions , we scrap the effort, & develop capsule approach that will not be manned for several more years, & when it is will not come CLOSE to shuttle capabilities, meanwhile WE pay Russia.
Whole deal TOTALLY NONSENSICAL--- seem our leaders in Congress have lost their minds!!!!
Plus our less than useless potus!

Control of Space

People, read carefully, & take action! Thanks, Jim Worrall, for reminding us as to importance of maintaining preeminent capabilities--- our future depends on it.
--------

Whomever Controls Space, Controls the Earth Below It
China is using stolen cutting edge western technology and money earned through unfair trade practices to rapidly build a premier space program.
If that weren't enough of an advantage, America has crippled NASA with tiny budgets and the destruction of our Space Shuttle.
I was disappointed, but not surprised, the Obama regime sabotaged our Space program but I expected a Republican administration to rapidly rebuild our Space Capacity.
Controling Earth's Orbit and Low Earth's Orbit is vital to our strategic interests. The welfare of our grandchildren depends upon how we meet the challenge posed by Russia and China today.
We must educate our political representatives to the vital importance we control space. Please join me in calling your Congressman and Senators. If they won't support our Space program they need to be replaced. The Capital Switchboard will connect you with your Congressman and Senators, 202-224-3121.
GOD bless you,
Jim Worrall
